Iowa State opens training camp in preparation of 2025 season

by: BillSeals07/25/25williamseals

Rocco Becht and Connor Moberly — Iowa State's top two quarterbacks work on handoffs during the opening stages of preseason camp.

The Cyclones will open the year one week earlier than usual with a week zero game against Kansas State in the Aer Lingus in Dublin, Ireland, so that means a late July start to preseason camp.

ISU reported for action on Tuesday and opened camp the following day. The team’s annual media day is slated for Friday. Here are some video highlights of the start of preseason practice.
